Pretty good. But TCU, Saturday's opponent, ranks sixth in the nation in total defense, its first two opponents averaging 3.44 yards per play while Ohio State has averaged 8.1 yards per play.

So could Ohio State, somehow, be overconfident for Saturday?

"I think that, you know, when the games get tighter, every play matters even more," acting head coach Ryan Day said when asked that question Monday. "And so the mistakes are still there. We talked about that in the meeting yesterday. The mistakes are still there.

"For instance, the interception in the red zone two games ago, or, you know, a play with false starting or sack on third down; those plays in a big game are going to show up even more. They are still there and we have to correct them and that's the sign of a mature group."

Day wants this attitude from the Buckeyes.

"You can win a big game, kind of like we have last two games, but then come to work and be critical of yourself," Day said, "and take the coaching so that we make the corrections to keep building."

He was also asked what might worry him about an offense putting up these points.

"I don't think there's any one thing," Day said, because of course there isn't.

"What makes good players great is when they do make a mistake, they can learn from it and it doesn't happen again. But we still have a lot of first-time guys on the team, so they are learning as it goes."

In this video, Bill Landis and I pondered the idea of an overconfident Ohio State team - and summarily dismissed the premise.
